Vista freeze with Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Hi! My system freezes/locks up every time i run Microsoft Windows Vista
Ultimate 32-bit fullversion, sometimes i can run vista for about 1-3 minutes before it locks/freezez up and i have to press the reset button. The system will freeze even if I startup Vista and dont do anything, so its no particular program or event that causes the freeze, just random. If run Vista in SAFE MODE its stabile and i can run it without any freezes or problems. My system: Shuttle SD37P2 V2 Intel 975X/ICH7R with latest BIOS (sd37s204) Western Digital Raptor 74Gb SATA Corsair TWIN2X1024-5400C4PRO (2x1GB) Powercolor X850XT Platinum Edition PCI-E I have tried updating evrything in my system, i have tried different harddrives, graphics card and memory and using 1 stick of memory and got the same result. In BIOS I have tried turning USB, IDE, firewire etc. On and OFF but no result, but when i tried a different CPU (Intel Pentium 4 640) the system runs fine and stabile!? Hoping for a solution so i can use my new computer with my Core 2 Extreme CPU. Regards Anders
